Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Lu Chenxiao's face turned even darker.

He raised his eyes to look at his brother who was not doing his job properly, and said quietly, "Since the emperor is so idle, why not let the concubines enter the palace early."

Emperor Yuan Qing's expression froze, and he immediately waved his hand, "That's not necessary."

Lu Chenxiao chuckled.

Emperor Yuan Qing felt that he had lost his brother's authority. He coughed twice and tried to persuade her earnestly, "I care about you too. You demoted my Minister of Rites and put him under house arrest just to support the Meng family. How could she not know what's good for her?"

Lu Chenxiao pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, looking at Emperor Yuan Qing with a half-smile, "Then shall I go to the Meng Mansion again and announce the restoration of Meng Yunchuan's position as the Minister?"

He said this seriously. Emperor Yuan Qing was worried that he would do what he said, so he quickly stopped him, "No need. Meng Yunchuan has been colluding with the noble families for a long time. I am worried that I can't find a reason to punish him. What Ah Xiao did today is exactly what I want."

Lu Chenxiao was not surprised at all by his words, but added with a cold look, "Meng Yunchuan has been in the Ministry of Rites for many years. The new Shangshu who replaces him must be more capable than him, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."

"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements."

"In this case, I will take my leave."

After saying this, he stood up decisively and walked out, looking as if he was afraid that Emperor Yuan Qing would push him back into the chair.

Emperor Yuan Qing was unwilling to be left behind, so he put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. I summoned you today because I have something important to tell you."

Lu Chenxiao took two steps back and raised his eyebrows to ask, "What's the matter?"

Emperor Yuan Qing was about to speak when he glanced at Lu Chenxiao's waist and asked curiously, "Hey, what is that hanging on you? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Lu Chenxiao lowered his head, stretched out his hand to hold up the eagle bracelet on his waist, rubbed it with his fingers for a while, and then introduced it with a tender look, "This is the bracelet my wife made for me."

The three simple words "my wife" shocked Emperor Yuan Qing so much that he was stunned for a long time.

"You, your wife? Where did you find a new wife?"

Lu Chenxiao's face darkened and he blurted out words one by one.

"I have only one wife, the child's mother, Meng Yunshang."

Emperor Yuan Qing was even more surprised. "Meng Yunshang personally made a bandage for you? How is that possible? Ah Xiao, are you suffering from hysteria?"

"Or did you actually have a mistress hidden in your house for a long time, and you were afraid that I would say something bad about you, so you deliberately said that Meng Yunshang had beaten you?"

"If that's the case, then you don't have to be afraid. I will grant you a marriage. As long as the girl's family background is clean, I will make her a concubine."

"Your Majesty!" Lu Chenxiao didn't want to listen anymore. His face was livid and he repeated word for word, "I only want Meng Yunshang. I'd better leave the happiness of having two wives to Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuan Qing opened his mouth in shock. After a while, he asked him without caring about his image, "So, was this really shot by Meng Yunshang for you? And it was an eagle?"

Lu Chenxiao nodded, "Yes!"

"No, it must be because I got up too early today and I am hallucinating."

Lu Chenxiao's mouth twitched slightly, "So what important thing does the emperor want to tell me? If you don't tell me, I will really leave."

"Important things..." Emperor Yuan Qing coughed twice, his expression changed, and when Lu Chenxiao and others were about to get impatient, he spoke slowly.

"A few days ago, General Cheng reported that the bitter cold at the border was not conducive to recuperation, and he wanted Song Jinyan to return to the capital to recuperate. I agreed, and Song Jinyan should have left for the capital by now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chenxiao's face turned gloomy as expected.

"Originally, I was worried that Meng Shi would be restless after Song Jinyan returned to the capital. But now that she is willing to make the Eagle Band for you herself, it means that she has you in her heart. This way, you don't have to worry anymore."

Lu Chenxiao felt bitter in his heart.

When Song Jinyan was at the border, she thought about leaving the palace and going to Song Jinyan all day long.

When she learned that Song Jinyan had died in the battle, she ended her own life without even the slightest hesitation.

Now that Song Jinyan has returned to Beijing, will she still be willing to stay in the palace?

Will the faith he has held on to for five years soon collapse?

"Ah Xiao?"

Seeing that he was slow to speak, Emperor Yuan Qing called out to him with some concern.

Lu Chenxiao cupped his hands in reply, "Your Majesty is worrying too much. She is already my princess consort, so she has nothing to do with Song Jinyan anymore."

*

Walking out of the imperial study, the sky, which was originally cloudless, was suddenly filled with many dark clouds.

Soon, raindrops as big as soybeans began to fall, and Lu Chenxiao hurried back to the palace in the rain.

He was soaked all over, but did not return to Qingfengyuan, but went directly to Anranju.

Danqiu and Dangui were waiting in the corridor. When they saw him coming in the rain, they were so surprised that they hurried forward to greet him.

"This servant greets the prince!"

But Lu Chenxiao turned a deaf ear and walked into the house soaked in water.

He walked around the screen and looked at Meng Yunshang who was leaning against the head of the bed with burning eyes.

Huai'an in her arms was already fast asleep, and Meng Yunshang was drowsy, but the man who suddenly appeared in the room scared her.

After seeing clearly that it was Lu Chenxiao, she opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"My lord, what are you doing..."

Lu Chenxiao didn't know why he came to Anranju.

But after learning that Song Jinyan was about to return to Beijing, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to stay with her day and night so that she would have no chance to see Song Jinyan, let alone leave.

But now standing in front of Meng Yunshang, he found that he couldn't say a word.

It seemed that as long as he opened his mouth, the dark thoughts in his heart would be discovered by her, and then he would have nowhere to hide.

Meng Yunshang waited for a long time but didn't hear his response. He didn't speak or move, just sat there in front of the bed.

The water vapor brought coolness to the room.

Worried that he might scare Huai'an if he stood there, Meng Yunshang lifted the thin quilt, got out of bed, and walked in front of Lu Chenxiao.

"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell? How about going back to Qingfeng Courtyard to bathe and change clothes?"

Lu Chenxiao stared at her intently, not even willing to blink, as if she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Meng Yunshang noticed that his behavior was unusual from the past and prepared to call Lu Ming to ask what was going on.

But before he had taken a few steps, he was blocked by the man who was covered in water.

He said, "I am here and I am not going anywhere."

"But the prince needs to take a bath and change clothes now, otherwise he will easily catch a cold."

"Then it's in Anranju."

Meng Yunshang frowned, "Anranju doesn't have the prince's clothes."

"Lu Ming will go to Qingfeng Court to get it. I will stay in Anran Residence today."

He doesn't want any patience or compromise anymore.

From now on, wherever she is, he will be there, never leaving her side.

Meng Yunshang looked at him deeply for a long time, then called out softly, "Danqiu, ask the palace doctor to come over immediately. The prince seems to be seriously ill."

"I am not sick," Lu Chenxiao refuted, and then he ordered with a sullen face, "Lu Ming, go back to Qingfeng Courtyard to get my daily necessities, and Lu Kang, go prepare hot water."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

"Yes!"

Soon, hot water and clean clothes were delivered, but Lu Chenxiao still stood in front of Meng Yunshang without moving.
